TJ,
Thanks for your assitance here.
As I explained the reason I made the number so large was to make sure
I captured ALL of IQ Feed's 1 Min data AND daily data. I accept that I
could have made the number 1mil instead of 2mil and achieved the same
objective. However, for purposes of longer term intraday backtesting,
I see no alternative other than to change the registry setting and
load more bars than recommeneded.
Anyway, this is all a learning process. Because most of us don't
understand how AB manages data as intimately as you, we are not aware
of how a larger DB critically effects performance (due to CPU cache
being overloaded). Perhaps it's worth spelling this out a little more
detail so that we are all 'in the know'.
I have now decided to have one large DB for longer term backtesting
where live performance is not critical... and a much lighter weight,
smaller DB for live trading.
Thanks again.
